Host | El Gaucho Portland $25 to $28 per hour | DOE
El Gaucho Portland hosts are the first and last impression of the restaurant, and we take that role to heart. We are looking for warm, energetic professionals who lead with genuine hospitality and take real pride in making every guest feel welcome, seen, and cared for.
Hospitality is the heart of everything we do. From the moment a guest walks through the door to the moment they leave, you set the tone for their entire evening. You will graciously greet guests, assist with coats, escort parties to their table, provide menus, and ensure that every special request is communicated with care. You will also warmly answer incoming calls, input reservations, and support the Front Desk Lead with accurate table checks throughout service.
We are looking for someone with hosting experience who is ready to grow. For the right candidate, there is a clear path toward a Lead Host role.
If you are a polished, positive professional with a heart for hospitality, we would love to hear from you.
Benefits include:
Competitive wages, growth potential toward Lead Host, family meals, employee dining discount, medical/dental/vision (25+ hours per week), sick pay, pet insurance, 401k with employer match (after one year of service), and the Employee Assistance Program available to all employees.
We are closed on Sundays, Mondays, and select holidays (unpaid), except for special engagements.
